The major motivation of the course is the following. Many exciting and innovative new technologies exist in a broad range of areas, such as micro and nanoelectronics, genetic engineering, robotics, photonics, bioengineering, material science, etc. A key aim of engineering is to take high-technology areas and to enable them to be turned into practical realities, i.e., to make them commercially possible and manufacturable. An important means to accomplish this task is making use of modern techniques for simulating physical systems, since experimentation alone is generally an extremely expensive and time consuming approach.
